Poem for Godfrey

You wear your heart upon a sleeve
that’s shaking with sad laughter,
knowing a world of tears and smiles –
yet, which before? which after?

your answer, friend, is blowing not
in winds of time nor gain nor loss;
but from a heart that’s not forgot
where tear meets smile upon the Cross.
